the
Arab World
?What is translation
Translation is the transmittal of written text from
one language into another. Although the
terms translationand interpretationare often
used interchangeably, by strict definition,
translation Refers to the written language, and
.interpretation to the spoken word
: Important point to consider
Translation must take into account constraints
that include context, the rules of grammar of the
two languages, their writing conventions, and
their idioms. A common misconception is that
there exists a simple word-for-word
correspondence between any two languages, and
that translation is a straightforward mechanical
process. A word-for-word translation does not
take into account context, grammar,
conventions, and idioms.

Translation services is been used world wide on
a daily basis in both governmental / private
sectors as well as formal and informal situations
like: medical records, political conferences and
letters, legal fields , educational conferences,
and conversation with a foreign friend etc..
